All about the money.
I just got done with my graduate degree. 2 and half semesters were purely online/remote.
That means millions were saved In things like electricity, heat, various types of campus services I.e. janitorial, gyms, etc in a school that has 20k students.
Now multiply that by thousands of campuses across the states.
You think the scumbags reduced tuition accordingly because they weren’t incurring all of these costs? Lmao yeah right.
If only we had real journalists in this country that would cover this fleecing instead of dissecting Trumps every move.
Agree that the current educational model is crap. All my lectures in med school were recorded. Nobody went to class. Only to anatomy labs.
In undergrad I needed to go to labs if they had the lectures recorded. Everything could have been online for me to do at my own pace and I would have probably graduated with two degrees in half the time. The crap schedule was more of an impediment than an asset and only adds to cost.
The networking was valuable though. There is a lot to say for that.
